Looking good Jesper!

I noticed when you were mocking up the seats in a previous picture, the bottom arm/bracket of the seat looked to be on the rib of the floor, hence lifting the seat a little bit and causing it to lean. Now the seats seem level. Did you shorten the bottom arm/bracket?

 

[Jespervangfalkenberg]

Thx

No I did not shorten the arms. I just think the arms where not completely out when I took the picture. But I did move the brackets that attaches to the wheel well by 45mm go therefore the floor should actually be raised with 5mm. My plan is/was to but some carpet there and thats why it fits now

Finally the truck is legal with seats in it - perfect! But there is still a lot to do!

Good Job! Slick idea with the cabinets.

Hi Guys

Sadly I have a cracked head on the original H engine - so I have decided it is time to upgrade the entire setup on the hj45. I will udgrad to HJ60 diffs, HJ60 4 speed tranny and HJ60 disc brakes in the front. Too bad since the truck only has 74.000km since 1980 - but was not any coolant fluid in the engine and I am afraid it has done a lot of damage to the engine. Well a lot of good parts remains and can be use on my PU.

Hi Jesper, Just did a quick scan of your thread. Very cool! Too bad the engine gave up. Are you going with the 2H or 12HT?

 

[Jespervangfalkenberg]

Hi I am going for the 2H engine - since the 12ht is so freakin expensive and I really don't look for a race car but a setup that can take me and my family around scandinavia. The 2H engine is very cheap and parts are much easier to find and buy

Are you going to add the power steering from the HJ60, too?

 

[scrapdaddy]

Hope the PTO winch is going back on.

 

[Jespervangfalkenberg]

yup - I will put power steering on this truck also and I will make it like on my PU. The PTO is going back - but there will be some issues fitting or finding the correct pto box to fit the HJ60 4 speed tranny.
